Question

Answer 1

Answer: D, is the answer

Step-by-step explanation: took the test .

Answer 2

If it costs 6 dollars per day, that means that the cost/day=6, or that the total cost divided by the amount of days equals 6. Since cost is y and days is x, we have y/x=6. Multiplying both sides by 6, we have y=6x. Plugging that into each table, we can see that the last table fits the description, with y*6=36, 9*6=54, and 12*6=72.
